What a used moses basket is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for moses baskets, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £60 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £51 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £39 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £27 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £15 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a moses basket
- Sound basket with no broken weave
- Stand included and stable
- Clean, unstained linings
- Recognised nursery brands
What lowers it
- Broken or splintering weave
- Stained or missing linings
- Missing stands, which are size-specific
- Old mattresses, which most buyers replace
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check the weave for breaks and splinters
- Confirm the stand is included and stable
- Wash the lining and photograph it clean
Once you have those three answers you can place your own moses basket on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Are Moses baskets worth selling?
Yes, they are used for only a few months so most are in excellent condition. Including the stand raises the price noticeably.
Should I include the mattress?
Most buyers prefer a new mattress for a baby. Offer it as optional rather than making it a selling point.
What should I check?
The weave, for breaks and splinters, and the stand for stability. Both are safety-relevant.
